Chicken just molting?

[RodNTN]

Hi! One of my Leghorn hens, Dolores, has come into her first molt. Her comb has gotten smaller and paler. She still eats, drinks, etc.

Why I am asking if she is just molting because she was sick a few weeks ago (her comb was purple, and she was very lethargic). She isn't acting very lethargic anymore, and she is still bossing her sisters around.

So just overall, do you all think that she is just molting, or is this something more than that? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a normal molt which may have been jump started by her previous illness. Just keep a close eye on her, and good luck.

Okay, than you!!

Best of luck with your flock. They sure look funny with no feathers or very few.
